Weather alert reception

In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such
as storms and hurricanes, the NOAA (National Oce-
anic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weath-
er alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subse-
quent weather report on one of the NOAA weather
channels.
When the transceiver receives
the weather alert on the op-
erating frequency, it displays
a warning as below on the
screen and continues to make
alarm sounds until either of
the keys is pressed.
You may enable or disable the alarm function when
receiving the weather alert signal via the COMM SET-
UP menu. See page 35 for details.
